Describe the bug

I am trying to get the Page LikedByInformation as below,

var pageLikeInformation = clientSidePage.GetLikedByInformationAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();

But i get no results when using this.

I also used GetCommentsAsync() to get the comment collection which works fine.
var commentsCollection = clientSidePage.GetCommentsAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();

Below code is working and getting likedByInformation as well.
`
var pageNew = await pnpContext.Web.NewPageAsync();

            // Save the page
            await pageNew.SaveAsync("Pageb.aspx");

            // Publish the page, required before it can be liked
            await pageNew.PublishAsync();

            // Like the page
            await pageNew.LikeAsync();

            var pageLikeInformation = await pageNew.GetLikedByInformationAsync();
            bool pageLikedByCurrentUser = pageLikeInformation.IsLikedByUser;
            foreach (var likedByUser in pageLikeInformation.LikedBy.AsRequested())
            {
                // do something with the information about the user who liked this page
            }

`

Below code is not working,

`
var mypages = await pnpContext.Web.GetPagesAsync("TestingLikeInfo.aspx");
var pageABC = mypages.First();

            await pageABC.PublishAsync();
            ILikedByInformation likeInfo2 = await pageABC.GetLikedByInformationAsync();
            bool pageLikedByCurrentUser2 = likeInfo2.IsLikedByUser;

`

Expected behavior

await pageABC.GetLikedByInformationAsync(); should get LikedByInformation

Library

PnP.Core - 1.11.69-nightly

@NishkalankBezawada : not sure what the issue is here, I've tested https://github.com/pnp/pnpcore/blob/dev/src/sdk/PnP.Core.Test/SharePoint/PagesTests.cs#L2728-L2775 and this works fine. A page can be liked, the like can be retrieved and the page can be unliked.

If I try below then GetLikedByInformation returns on instance saying there are no likes on the page.

// Save the page
await newPage.SaveAsync(pageName);

// Publish the page, required before it can be liked
newPage.Publish();

// Like the page
//newPage.Like();

// Get a list of users who liked this page
var pageLikeInformation = newPage.GetLikedByInformation();

Thanks @jansenbe for your prompt reply.

I am trying to fetch a page LikedByInformation as below (which is having more than 3 likes),

var mypages =  await pnpContext.Web.GetPagesAsync("TestingLikeInfo.aspx");
var pageABC = mypages.First();
ILikedByInformation likeInfo = await pageABC.GetLikedByInformationAsync();

This should return me the LikedInformation of that particular page, but GetLikedByInformationAsync returns no likes on that particular page.

GetLikedByInformationAsync works only when i create it, save, publish it, and then like it as below

              var pageNew = await pnpContext.Web.NewPageAsync();

                // Save the page
                await pageNew.SaveAsync("Pageb.aspx");

                // Publish the page, required before it can be liked
                await pageNew.PublishAsync();

                // Like the page
                await pageNew.LikeAsync();

                var pageLikeInformation = await pageNew.GetLikedByInformationAsync();
                bool pageLikedByCurrentUser = pageLikeInformation.IsLikedByUser;
                foreach (var likedByUser in pageLikeInformation.LikedBy.AsRequested())
                {
                    // do something with the information about the user who liked this page
                }

Or is GetLikedByInformationAsync only works when a page is liked as pageNew.LikeAsync(); then retrieve the LikedByInformation and then unlike the page as pageNew.UnLikeAsync()?
